Description

The solar jar lid is a plastic encasement with a handle and hook into which a solar panel, battery and LED are attached.

The plastic encasement is molded in such a way as to allow it to be attached by screwing it onto a glass or plastic jar. The solar jar lid can be transferred from one glass or plastic jar to another of the same dimension as well as be molded to fit different size glass or plastic jars. The solar jar is meant for outdoor lighting but can be charged out doors and be brought indoors for lighting purposes.
